They are supposed to represent those who elect them. That’s what a representative Republic is. They aren’t doing so. You can argue until the cows come home but they are not representing their electorate. They are not elected to rule over us.
It doesn't mean they have to do what the majority wants. Our system is designed in part to thwart the will of the majority (of regular people.) Regular people, so republican theory goes, are too passionate, self-interested, and stupid to be reliable. Hence, we are not a democracy. And so we have representatives (elites) who are a check on the people. Thats how they drew it up. Don't blame me. I'd dump the Constitution if it were up to me.
They represent us by serving in office. Find anywhere in the Constitution that they must vote with the majority of their constituents. It ain't there. They don't have to di it.
They are not elected to rule over us.
Yes they are. Not alone. They have to share their rule with two other branches, and their fellow senators, but they have their piece of Constitutional power, which is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. And they have to face elections once in a while. But while they are there, they most definitely rule over us. SUPREME LAW. If that ain't ruling, what is?
